Who Is Christopher

U.S. Air Force Veteran • .NET Developer • Technology Leader

Hi, I'm Christopher Kaelin, a U.S. Air Force retiree, family man, and passionate technologist based in Lexington, Kentucky. Over the past 30+ years, I've built a career as a .NET Developer, mastering tools like C#, ASP.NET, JavaScript, and MS SQL Server to create dynamic and reliable web applications. Throughout my career, I've worked in various industries, applying my technical expertise to solve complex challenges.

Most recently, I've been expanding my skill set by diving into modern web development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I enjoy sharing my learning journey on my blog to help others grow in their own development paths.

Whether it's designing efficient full-stack applications or optimizing websites for better user experiences, I take pride in crafting technology that makes a difference. My work is grounded in problem-solving, attention to detail, and a drive to help businesses succeed.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I serve as the lead volunteer for all the technology needs at my church, where I manage live streams and maintain tech systems, blending my skills with my love for community service.

When I'm not at my desk, I'm all about family, fitness, and enjoying life's simple pleasures.

A big sports fan, I can frequently be found catching games, listening to podcasts, or diving into online articles about my favorite teams. Balancing my professional life with personal passions is what keeps me grounded and energized.

My Philosophy

"As someone who values continuous learning, I'm always looking for ways to grow and take on new challenges. Whether it's keeping up with the latest tech trends, building prescriptive analytics tools to optimize processes, or mentoring others, I believe that curiosity and perseverance are key to making an impact. I'm excited about the future of technology and the opportunities it brings to connect people, solve problems, and create a better world—one line of code at a time."
